by 50%.However, in the afternoon a virus destroyed 50% of her total collection.If Binas collection then numbered 300 songs, how manydid she have at the start of the day?1) 2002) 3003) 400

4) 600

x songs at the start. now, 50% added. so..we havex+x/2 songs=3x/2 songs

50% of 3x/2 songs deleted. implies we now are left with3x/2/2 songs(50% is half of total)which is3x/4

3x/4=300 = x=400
